Her father was 'Tailor' O'Neill from Upper Churchfield who lost a leg in WW1 and took up tailoring. She was also related to Paddy Tunney a former minister in the Irish Government. She came from a very religious family and her son twice attempted to introduce anti-abortion legislation in the House of Commons but was outvoted.

Notes:
© Copyright Galway Family History West. (Research):The woman in Barr na Hamna (Mary) had a son known as Sean Beag (Tom Whalen's grandfather).
Aunt May said she lived to be 103
Tommy's great grandmother was a sister to my mothers great grandmother on Barr Na Hanna, so my mother and Tommy were third cousins. Those two sisters were Thorntons, and their parents and themselves were evicted in Gorteenmore down near the Church in 1833. The year Plunkett came. It was a lovely cozy village and he wanted it for sheep. So like many more, they had to take to the hills and start digging, mostly in the valleys and sheltered spots and erect little cabins for themselves and had to pay rent on that as well.
The Thorntons settled in Gortnalderg, one daughter Salog married Big Luke Gibbons (There was a Small Luke Gibbons near by). He was Tommy's great grandfather and the other one married Whalen in Barr Na Hanna. Whalen died young and left four children one son known as Sean (Small Sean). Tom Whalens grandfather. Small Sean was reared in Gortnalderg with the Thorntons. His mother later married Coyne. This is where we come into it. She had two daughters by Coyne. One married Pat Whalen (Stiophen) and they are my great grandparents. Don't get confused here. Coyne's daughter was no relation to Pat Whalen (Stiophen).
Uncle Stiophen tells me that he was one of the Gortmor Boynes (Nellogs). They are and were a fine respectable people.
Well, Saleog Thornton who married Luke Gibbons (Luke Mor) only had one daughter, Mary Gibbons, known as Nancy Mor. She married a neighbor, Tom Lally when she was a teenager. She was my husband's grandmother. Her father had died young and the story goes her grandparents who were still alive and well were afraid Saloeg, the girls mother, would marry again and they'd have none of their own to look after them in their old age so she did marry Tom Lally known as Thomas Nellie from next door. She had a large family, from 23 years down to one. He was involved in the Fenian movement and had to flee to America, leaving his wife and four children, returned after eight years and had four more.
In her youth, his wife, Nancy Mor visited Barr Na Hanna often. She was a first cousin to Pat Whalen's wife, my great grandmother and also a 1st cousin of Small Sean Whalen. She used to say in Irish "My heart rises when I go back to Barr Na Hanna" It sounds so much better in Irish. She loved to visit tem in Bar Na Hanna and if there were any relations place on the way, she would pass there and not stand on the floor as they used to say.
One daughhter (Mary) married Pat Stiophan Whalen. It is a bit confusing. Her mother (Mary Thornton) was married first to Whalen and her daughter by Coyne married Whalen. They were no relation, even though the two families of Whalen's were related.
